Chapter 20 The Princess Is Too Arrogant 7
When Yun Jing said he wanted to go back, he really did get on the carriage and head back. No matter what the Prime Minister or his wife said, he ignored them and said to Qiu Chi, who hadn't gotten on the carriage yet, "If the princess doesn't come up, then I'll leave first."
Qiu Chi spread her hands and said to the two prime ministers who wanted her to persuade Yun Jing, "You can see it too. I'm helpless too. After all, he's the prince who even left me aside for his wedding and married another woman. You didn't dare to say anything, so how could I, a helpless little concubine, dare to say anything?"
The Prime Minister and his wife were successfully choked. They remembered the rumor that Qiu Chi had ruined the wedding.
Qiu Chi ignored them and got into the carriage directly. In the carriage was Yun Jing, whose face had become even gloomier.
After the carriage left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Jing said with a sullen face, "There's no need to mock me again."
Qiu Chi said innocently: "Am I not telling the truth?"
"You really don't want to suffer any loss at all. It's a pity that I just stood up for you."
Qiu Chi chuckled: "Are you standing up for me? It's obvious that you are unhappy with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I need you to help me out? I'm not Cui Yueyue, would you stand up for Cui Yueyue?"
After hearing the last sentence, Yun Jing fell silent.
He would not stand up for Cui Yueyue. Even if he finally found out that Cui Yueyue did not like him and was not favored by the Prime Minister's Mansion, he still would not stand up for Cui Yueyue. At most, he would just ignore it.

When such a question arose on Guining Day, the Prime Minister's wife naturally hurriedly sent a message to the palace.
Although he was not afraid of being blamed, Yun Jing's words clearly showed that he was defending Qiu Chi, so he naturally had to talk to Cui Mingyu about this.
Cui Mingyu is very upset now. After all, the emperor quietly visited a little palace maid and made her a concubine without telling her, which made her very unhappy.
A powerless palace maid was actually promoted to a concubine, which is enough to show the emperor's love for this palace maid.
Although she did not like the emperor, she enjoyed the envious looks of others when she was favored by the emperor.
Now that her exclusive favor has been interrupted, she naturally can't stand Lian'er.
After receiving the sign from the Prime Minister's wife, he immediately summoned the person into the palace.
She originally wanted to discuss how to deal with Lian'er, but after hearing the Prime Minister's wife say that Yun Jing defended Qiu Chi, she was so angry that she smashed the cup.
"Is what mother said true? Does Prince Jing really protect her?"
The Prime Minister's wife nodded. "Of course it's true. There's no need for me to fabricate such a thing to deceive Your Majesty. Originally, based on Prince Jing's dislike for her, she shouldn't have returned with him. Who would have thought that Prince Jing would actually accompany her?"
"Yeah, why would I accompany her?"
Cui Mingyu thought of Yun Jing's defense when she scolded Qiu Chi, and she became even more upset.
"Prince Jing likes me, so he wouldn't fall in love with someone else so quickly. It must be this little bitch who did something. I'll write to him and ask him to meet. Let's put her affairs aside for now. Has mother heard about the emperor's visit to the palace maid?"
The Prime Minister's wife disagreed with Cui Mingyu: "Of course I heard about it, but it's not a big deal. She's just a palace maid. She can't threaten you. Now we still need to understand King Jing's attitude. You haven't seen her. She is very different from before."
Cui Mingyu snorted coldly, "I didn't see her today, but I did see her arrogant look when she entered the palace, and that palace maid. I really can't stand this!"
"A palace maid has suddenly become a Concubine. How many people are watching her? Your Majesty should calm down and watch them fight among themselves."
"Of course I won't dirty my hands."
After thinking about instigating others to deal with Lian'er, Cui Mingyu wrote another letter to Yunjing and had someone send it out and hand it to Yunjing.
Qiu Chi was there at the time: "Oh, your old lover sent you a letter. Your attitude today must have upset her. Why don't you open it and see what she wrote."
Yun Jing glared at Qiu Chi while holding the letter.
Qiu Chi took out the knife: "Am I too kind in front of you, making you think I'm easy to bully, and you still dare to wait for me?"
Yun Jing looked at the knife that appeared out of nowhere, feeling speechless and curious: "Where did you get this knife from?"
There was no place on Qiu Chi's body to hide the knife.
Qiu Chi laughed and said, "Minding your own business can lead to sudden death. Are you sure you want to know?"
Yun Jing was silent for a moment, then stood up with the letter and said, "I'm going to the study."
In the study, Yun Jing opened Cui Mingyu's letter.
Of course, Cui Mingyu would not directly question Yun Jing. Instead, she talked about the emperor's visit to Lian'er, and her words were full of sadness and disappointment.
Then she mentioned today's visit to his parents' home, saying that she was very pleased to know that he was going back with his sister, but there was inevitably a hint of resentment between the lines.
She also pleaded for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and finally mentioned whether the two of them could meet. The fact that the emperor had favored Lian'er was really too much for her to bear.
After reading the letter, Yun Jing felt heartbroken and immediately wrote a reply.
After comforting her, he said that he did not blame the Prime Minister's Mansion and that he would take Qiu Chi to the Prime Minister's Mansion again tomorrow, and the two would meet there.
Cui Mingyu smiled confidently when he saw Yun Jing's reply.
She knew that Yun Jing couldn't just fall in love with someone else.
After burning the letter, she got up and went to find the emperor.
The emperor was in the imperial study at this time, and Lian'er was serving him. From time to time, she looked at him with shy and admiring eyes, which made the emperor very happy.
When the emperor heard the eunuch announce the arrival of the imperial concubine, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Lian'er stood up and said politely, "The imperial concubine has come to see the emperor, so she must have something important to discuss. It's not convenient for me to stay here, so I'll go to the inner room first."
The emperor felt distressed by Lian'er's cleverness and understanding, but was also very satisfied. He nodded, motioned Lian'er to go to the inner room, and then let Cui Mingyu in.
As soon as Cui Mingyu came in, she said, "Your Majesty, my father has caught a cold today, and I need to go home."
She looked a little worried, a little angry, and with just the right amount of grievance.
Even though he was a little tired of her, it was not easy to be the only one to dote on her for two and a half months. Naturally, the emperor felt pity for her and said, "My beloved concubine has asked for it. How can I not agree? You don't have to come to the court tomorrow morning. You can rest well at home. My beloved concubine can also stay in the Prime Minister's residence for a few more days to accompany your parents. Are you satisfied with this?"
Cui Mingyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so considerate of me. I am naturally satisfied. I will go home tomorrow..."
Cui Mingyu paused and snorted, "When I return home for a few days, there will definitely be other sisters accompanying the emperor, but the emperor must still think of me in his heart, otherwise I will be angry."
The emperor laughed and said, "Since my beloved concubine has said so, how dare I disobey."
